Flight Simulator Activities Activity 1: What are the major parts of an aircraft and where are they located?
-Using the diagrams below, research what the parts are and what the purpose for each item is. Write an entry explaining the different parts under "Flight Journal"
SR22:
F-16:
Activity 2: What instruments does a pilot use to control the movement of an airplane and where are they located?
-Research online
-List the basic controls of an aircraft and their purpose.
-Using knowledge of the instrument panel controls, take a test flight in both the SR22 and F-16 in the Google Earth Flight Simulator to become familiar with controling both planes.
Activity 3: How does a plane’s structure enable it to take off, fly/suspend in the air, and land?
-Do some research on how planes are able to fly and write a brief discription on how this is possible. Place the write up under "Flight Journal"
-watch youtube flight videos for the SR22 and F-16

Activity 4: Apply knowledge: Complete a simulation flight with both the SR22 and F-16 through Google Earth Flight Simulator. Plan trips for both flights by incorperating several of the following locations and through Google Earth Flight Simulator, find out what airports you would use to land at the various locations:
Golden Gate Bridge
Yankee Stadium
Buckingham Palace
Sydney Opera House
Crater Lake
HowStuffWorks Office in ATL
Niagara Falls
Walt Disney World
Trafalgar Square
Eiffel Tower
After completing these flights, journal about what you believe the pros and cons are of each aircraft. What would an ideal situation be to use each model? Lastly, which model do you prefer and why? Place your responses under "Flight Journal"
